Antiga Barbearia de Bairro -

This brand, created and produced in Portugal, was inspired by the old Portuguese Quarters and a lifestyle that still (stubbornly) persists, defying the progress by reinventing itself. Like the Ribeira Quarter in Porto, or the Príncipe Real Quarter in Lisbon, that inspired the two new collections of this brand.

The old Barber Shops, where the shaving is still made with a sharp razor, and serve as a meeting point to a hip crowd, are back in style.

“Antiga Barbearia de Bairro” translates to “Old Neighborhood Barber Shop”, and this is the starting point for this new concept.

"The "Antiga Barbearia de Bairro" is the first brand produced by "100ml". We have felt there was a gap in the Market Segment, so we decided to create something different and unique in this area.

We want to revive the ritual of shaving, which has somehow been abandoned, and put a new emphasis on the traditional brush.
We have also been observing a revival of this trend, which reveals a path that enchanted us.
In fact, we are witnessing a return to classical processes now reinterpreted and filtered by new standards and aesthetic graphics.

In Portugal the barbershops are an integral part of the history of many towns and "Tertulia" venues. Even today, many districts keep this tradition alive, in areas in which remain a culture of communication, talking and exchanging greetings very typical of the Portuguese culture and that we are so proud of."
